Breastmilk by bottle... how much per feed?

Question

Hey Ladies
I’m away next Sat so my husband will be feeding our 11 week old baba BM by bottle for 24 hours. 
How much should he give per feed? 
Since I’ve just need breastfeeding in demand, I’m not sure what he should be giving her. 
If it was formula, it says 5oz every 3 hours I think but we know that babies absorb more BM than formula so the amount is probably less, right? 
Thanks!!

Answer

At that age my daughter took 3oz at a time. Make sure the bottles are pace fed to protect your breastfeeding relationship and help avoid bottle preference.

Answer

Breast fed babies take in less more frequently and formula fed babies take in more less frequently. I’d try 3-4 oz of breast milk. When I give my 7 month old son a bottle of breast milk he still only drinks 4-5 oz.

Answer

Babies typically need 1 to 1.5oz per hour. I do 4 oz with my son and he's 11 weeks

Answer

3-4oz

Answer

We do 2oz, burp him, then 1-2 more ounces in one sitting. So 3-4oz each feed (every 2 hours).

Answer

What everyone else said. Especially the paced bottle feeding part. Also might be a good idea to test run a bottle first to make sure baby will take it/likes that brand of bottle.
